  1. Should’ve happened the second he missed the first fine, and the same treatment should apply to all court fines.

  2. Relevant Extract. the rest of article is summary of history of the debacle

    “In a ruling today, the High Court gave the Attorney General liberty to apply for a garnishee order attaching to Mr Burke’s salary to answer fines imposed on him over his continued breach of orders requiring him to stay away from Wilson’s Hospital School.

    Mr Justice David Nolan also directed Mr Burke provide affidavit evidence in relation to his assets and income by the end of the month so the judge can consider his means.”

  3. >Mr Justice Nolan said he intended to double these fines to €1,400-a-day and wants to consider Mr Burke’s means in this regard.

    Good!

  4. Lol, no doubt this will be challenged in court which will take another few years to sort out, all thet while he’s still getting paid a full salary. It’s almost comical how badly run this country is.

  5. >Mr Justice David Nolan also directed Mr Burke provide affidavit evidence in relation to his assets and income by the end of the month so the judge can consider his means.”

    That is going to make it fun for any debt collectors

  6. Wait, maybe I am missing some important information, but did he get another teaching job? After how he has behaved??

  7. Now backdate it. Hateful little gargoyle shouldn’t have received a penny

  8. I’m not condoning this man’s actions or beliefs at all. But when you consider that he’s been jailed for over 500 days and now they’re taking away part of his salary to cover fines, and compare it with how someone who killed a man whilst driving and seems to be able to walk away virtually scot free, it just seems totally wrong. No jail for killing someone, but contempt of court? Lock him up.

  9. This really should have been done last year but I’ll thank the wheels of progress for moving, however slow they may sometimes seem.

  10. How long has he been teaching? He must be quite low on the salary scale if his salary is 48000.

  11. How is this guy still on a salary from a job he was sacked from and even sent to prison on?

    For Christ sake, this is the kind of carry on that results in people supporting the idea of a wanker like Musk being appointed to run state departments in America.

  12. I’m a bit surprised his pay wasn’t more at Wilsons? Maybe I just don’t know the going rate.

  13. Imagine paying someone 48k a year for going on 2 years despite them not doing the job and continuing to disobey a legal direction …..another glorious example of a fat lazy overpaid public sector which if they keep this up will have a great many silently wishing a Musk like figure would get a hold of the amount of tax payer monies wasted by our pubic sector …

  14. Anyone able to ELI5 Enoch Burke? Why is he in court? And why is everyone tolerating him lurking outside the school? He’s getting paid still?

  15. Eunuch Burke… How is he getting a salary? Is he being employed by some other school?
